No idea who wrote this, especially now that Royal Mail has been privatised. A while ago I sent a book in the post to Finland from Britain. The book got stuck for 4 weeks in LOS ANGELES. Then I had to watch as the tracking bounced it around between depots on the west coast of America. Then somehow it got flown to Finland where it got stuck again due to post-Brexit customs issues. International shipping, even to countries a few kilometres from Dover is now handled by US Postal Service.
So even though you’re almost funny, you’re still taking sh*te.
The fact Royal Mail is privatised seems irrelevant since whoever you shipped with in Finland decides how it will get to the UK.
I order things like band merch from Europe and have never had a problem receiving in the UK.
> since whoever you shipped with in
They used Royal Mail for shipping, on the way out Royal Mail are the ones handing it to the next country. In that case it seems to be a Royal Mail fuckup. It didn't touch the Finland carrier until it reached Finland.
Seems relevant if you actually read the post.
